[Blood Bowl Slann]

This is a Slann team for Blood Bowl. Yep, GW doesn't make Blood Bowl Slann anymore and this team is from Greebo Games.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Mr. Bones plays Blood Bowl]

I've been playing Blood Bowl for a few decades now. During the "dark times" I got used to making new Blood Bowl teams out of other miniatures.

Anyway, here is my Tomb Kings team. Most of them are converted from Mr. Bones. The Tomb Guardians themselves are made from some Bones wraith miniatures and the Jack-o-lantern pack.

 

 

 

Linemen Skeletons played by Mr. Bones

 

 

 

Mr Bones as two blitzers (designated by their paldrons)

 

 

Mr. Bones as two throwers

 

 

 

The Pumpkin Kings are the real stars.

 

 

 

And this one is for when I want to hire a werewolf star player to join in on the action.

Where did that whale come from?  Did you make it?

 

Nice group, excellent painting.

 

I bought it at Reapercon last year. It is from Aradia Miniatures

[Mawhi the Baleen Whale and her D&D party]

I've learned over the years that I REALLY like using the Dawn of Worlds game to generate a setting for D&D. Everyone contributes some cool ideas and when we start playing, it feels a lot like we've all got a more than solid handle on the setting lore- even though it is all entirely new.

And the people I associate with are rarely satisfied with creating something very normal. So this setting is filled with nations of anthropomorphic animals. Yes, this is also a very good excuse for me to get through my backlog of Jason Weibe minis (and I'll be posting those as they get finished).

But here is the party:

We have a scarred Mousling warlock



A Pirate Red Panda (converted from a Darksword cat)

 

And a baleen whale to tank for the party
 

 

 

That last one needs more angles

 

Yes that character is massive, and yes I'm quite proud that I somehow made this miniature playable on a 50mm base.

It seems an appropriate way to start page 2 with Wolverine.

You can hardly find a Marvel team that he hasn't joined.

I pulled up some '90s art to figure out how to deal with the helmet shines in comic style.

Stunning!

 I love the way you used textures to set highlights rather than smooth blending. It really works for the thick elephant skin! Id love to use these pictures for reference in a future project, if that's ok with you.

 

Thanks and of course that's okay with me.

I was definitely aiming to cover his skin with textures.

I picked up this mini at Reapercon 2019 intending to paint it up for the next year. As it turned out, I hadn't started painting it yet when I started packing for Reapercon 2020.

So I got to working on it and surprisingly got it finished in time to enter it into the competition (even though the judges chose another of my entries to judge).

One advantage to painting him at Reapercon was that I could ask Jason Weibe about some of the details on him that weren't cast quite as clearly as we'd have all liked (he was great and even found the original render to show me).

 

[Cute 'Lil Zombie Dragon]

This is an odd mini that started life as a Halloween decoration. I picked it up from Michael's last year, mounted it on a 50mm base and added some green stuff for the muscly bits, eyeball and crystal growths.

[Gigalion]

Thanks. I really love pushing these neutral color schemes and I'm glad that's working here.

[Gigalion]

White Gigalion from Kingdom Death: Monster.

I really liked playing around with the color shifts with this guy. And yes, his victim this time is not a chibi.

 

 

 

[What happened to the MSP HD Paint Series?]

I thought it was just a marketing thing- they kept getting requests for Bones specific paints, so they relabeled their HD line of paints as Bones paints.

Anyway, if you want HD paints, buy Bones paints.

I did some more- and I've been pushing for even more elements of comic book coloring with this set.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Marvel United in Comic Style]

Just a little while ago, CMON delivered their Marvel United game filled with wonderful super hero chibi minis. I’ve started painting them using a sort of comic book style (a lot of black outlines and some really neat stuff). Some of the minis take to this a little more than others, and I plan to keep experimenting with the style and find new ways to push the comic book style further.

I’ll have a lot more to show off as I work my way through the whole set, but here is something to start with. Somehow, I chose mostly less saturated characters for this first group (which gives them a slightly more Darkest Dungeon vibe).

 

For some of the others, I've started experimenting with some more dynamic lighting effects- I'll keep updating this post as I add more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Super Kingdom Death Explore!]

The Mountain Man is a Kingdom Death character that is still a ways away from hitting our gaming tables. He was part of the Kingdom Death resin range and later added to the KDM 1.5 Kickstarter as the final showdown for the Inverted Mountain campaign.

So far, we only know a little bit about him aside from the fact that he resides at the top/bottom of the inverted mountain. And that he makes a great chibi.

This is a Chibi Kingdom Death mini that I made for a collector. I have plans to make a second one for my set, but I haven’t gotten around to it just yet.

[Lots of Etherfields]

Thanks.

They are a really strange set of concepts. The PC minis are kind of hodge podges of various adjacent concepts, and the rest of them only get weirder form there.

[Lots of Etherfields]

Etherfields has some strange miniatures concepts.

I wanted to embrace the dreamlike quality of them all by giving them a unified mood. So all of these minis use purple shadows and pale green highlighting.

I'm expecting X-Force to be and add-on box like they've done with First Class

 

 

At first, I was definitely thinking that they'd have an X-Force expansion with Deadpool, Cable, Domino with a villain (maybe Sinister). And I still think that'll be the case if they want to create an expansion that would work at retail (it would match the MU pattern of three heroes and a villain per expansion). Add in one extra promo hero and we're set.

But the First Class expansion really changes the pattern. We've got five heroes and two-ish villains in the set. So it is really unclear how many heroes we should expect out of any new expansions they reveal.

My only problem with this (well beside CMON) is the KS exclusive figures. For me, that kills the interest.

 

I used to think that way, but I don't think it is possible to bring these to a normal retail release. No one wants to stock shelves full of expansions for any single new game, so they either exist as exclusives or not at all.

But at least they are offering the old exclusives in the new Kickstarter.

I am pretty doubtful they'll get Deadpool in the mix.   If they did, I'd hope they'd bring the whole X-Force team (especially shatterstar).  New Mutants (from the 90s) would be great, too. Ooo and they certainly need Nightcrawler, Colossus, and mayyyybe Gambit?  At least give me the first two.  If they put Long Shot in there, the other two have to be. 

 

They have teased Deadpool, and I don't think you can start off with Feral and not do the rest of the prime X-Force members.

They are just holding off on a lot of the bigger names, like they did last time (so that the last few days aren't filled with C-listers).

I did what @Clearmandid and worked in the cost per mini.  At 2.5 to$3 per mini (depending on how many get added, it's worth it just for the minis.  I might paint them up, varnish them, and sell the set and game.  I look at those figures like practice.  

 

Okay, so maybe I'll keep a couple. 

 

Maybe three.

 

The point is, for the minis alone the cost is worth it.  My big problem is if this thing comes in at the same time as Darkest Dungeon game does.  KS i seriously need to stop. 

Darkest Dungeon will be a year later than anticipated (probably). So it is ok.
